Such a beautiful lady with the voice of an Angel. My Husband died recently & this version of the song will be played at his funeral. If only there were more singers today like Mary Hopkin, you can hear & understand every word she sings. Just Beautiful.
I am American so forgive me if I am wrong, but Mary Hopkin seems to embody the spirit of Britain. A soul of compassion and of strong will.The world owes much to the will and compassion of the British spirit.
+Greg Boardman ...a little while back i played a song to a friend of a friend and he burst into tears listening to it. When asked why, he gently replied "this girl reminds me of a real singer, Mary Hopkin, who i have always loved and adored...because she could REALLY sing...and hold a note...what has happened to all the real singers??...the words to the song helped bring forth those tears as well and took me back in time" The song is called SWEET LADY ENGLAND by HANNAH DRURY.........more of an ANTHEM...if you are English and reading this, you may just FIND it...or maybe you'll discover it whether you are English or Albanian!!!!...or SWEDISH, or SWISS, or from NORWAY, etc, etc, etc.... Greg...you are spot on....Mary Hopkin=Beautiful voice of an angel...another who is right up there is a new young singer called JASMINE LAMPORT with three songs..BREATHE, STRONG and WHY?...................all ORIGINAL and beautiful.
First heard and loved this song when The Birds released it and never realised that Mary also released it...her lovely voice would lend itself to many songs.
I can remember learning this piece at a church girls auxiliary that we sang during a service one Sunday. Because the particular Anglican church I went to was pretty stiff about following the proper service guidelines it was quite a thing to do. It a beautiful piece.
PERFECT VOICE, I REMEMBER MY MOTHER VICTORINA REYES MAHAL PO NAMIN KAYO NAY, KAKANTA PA PO TAYO NG MGA PABORITO MONNG AWI, NASAULO KOPO ITO MULA PAGKABATA
King Solomon is the original author of these words in Ecclesiastes 3.1 - 8 Pete only wrote the melody and added the words Turn Turn Turn, and " A time of peace. I swear it's not too late" Pete sold it to the Limelighters and The Byrds which he preferred Pete's promoter told him that he couldnt just keep writing protest songs, so he arranged this one and it was huge on Billboard for the Byrds for many weeks
Turn, Turn, Turn - for some reason this reminds me of the book of Ezekiel : "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? "
I best remember her as Lirazel in Peter Knight and Bob Johnsons album "The King of Elfland's Daughter" based on the novel by Lord Dunsany. There were quite a few other notable people on that album too.
Can I please bring a conclusion to this seemingly endless debate as to her teeth? In this video she was absolutely stunning. Shortly afterwards they 'sorted' her teeth out. Thereafter she was absolutely stunning. There we have it then!
Well? In conclusion not nearly as controversial as Shanes of the Pogues...but at the end of the day wasn't really a problem because was more focused on the beautiful voice
+Kevin Clark Why are you all mentioning Pete Seeger? He was not the author. The words of this song are simply taken from the Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 3 in the Bible.
Mary Hopkin is doing the original folk version by Prete Seeger, who wrote the song. The song was produced by Paul McCartney and released as a B side on Apple.
What a perfect voice performing a perfect song!. The production is pretty sparse, Maybe not as powerful as the Byrds, Seeger, Judy Collins, The Seekers and the Simon Sisters versions, but a beautiful perfect voice doing a perfect song.

My condolences and admiration for your courage and appreciation of this song I have loved for over 50 years 🌹🙏🏼🌹
Mary Hopkin and her music bring back memories of my college years. She has a heavenly voice!
Am 75 now and grateful to God for all these years growing up to Mary Hopkins beauty and lovely music. Loved her since my high school years.
I found Mary Hopkin...I found her sweet voice an now I'm enjoying her songs!
Find JASMINE LAMPORT....she's well worth it.
And it’s been 7 years :(
A British angel from Wales, just the very best. Mary Hopkin such an angelical voice, such a beautiful voice. God bless you Mary Hopkin
My high school crush when I lived in England, I saw her perform twice and loved both times!
Zauberhafte Interpretation des gleichnamigen Songs der Byrds.
Gänsehaut..da ist sie wieder !!!!
My heart and mind soar under the influence of her voice.
Voice of an angel
Cymry,a land of bards.
angel of hell
Her singing always makes me feel better.
I am American so forgive me if I am wrong, but Mary Hopkin seems to embody the spirit of Britain. A soul of compassion and of strong will.The world owes much to the will and compassion of the British spirit.
Yes you are wrong, but I'll forgive you.
Oh. so beautiful.. you only need a guitar and a voice.. and it sounds like in heaven!
You wrong, they only allow harps in Heaven
It does sound like heaven. Beautiful
Not only a beautiful voice but she plays that guitar without fault and changes her chords without effort.
Beautiful version of this song. Mary, Judy, and the Byrds are heavenly. Thank you, God.
gold voice Mary a magic singer and skill what talent waho !!
Mary has a voice of an angel

The song is called SWEET LADY ENGLAND by HANNAH DRURY.........more of an ANTHEM...if you are English and reading this, you may just FIND it...or maybe you'll discover it whether you are English or Albanian!!!!...or SWEDISH, or SWISS, or from NORWAY, etc, etc, etc....
Greg...you are spot on....Mary Hopkin=Beautiful voice of an angel...another who is right up there is a new young singer called JASMINE LAMPORT with three songs..BREATHE, STRONG and WHY?...................all ORIGINAL and beautiful.
Back in the time when talent shows actually had talent on them. The beautiful Mary Hopkin and yet another gem from the late great Pete Seeger.
So Beautiful! I love to hear musicians sing Pete Seeger's songs.
Only fools mock beauty....... This is true beauty.
@Zac Ariah And the intellectually challenged share your opinion.
@Zac Ariah please be a pre teen.
@Zac Ariah appreciation, and arrogance are different things.
Beautiful Song
Beautiful Voice
Watching n listening December 12th 2020. Remembering my youth! x

a wonderful voice, thank Mary we love U
The most beautiful voice of all time. Flawless.
Beautiful phrasing! And you can tell she really connects with the lyrics.
Such a beautiful and captivating voice. Her singing takes me back to when there was more meaning in everything including song lyrics.
Lindo
She sings like a angel in the sky
She is an angel.
PERFECT VOICE, I REMEMBER MY MOTHER VICTORINA REYES MAHAL PO NAMIN KAYO NAY, KAKANTA PA PO TAYO NG MGA PABORITO MONNG AWI, NASAULO KOPO ITO MULA PAGKABATA
A beautiful song sung by a beautiful woman.
'there's a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven..'
Her singing gives depth to the lyrics = meaning of the song. Love this rendition.
Sweet song with strong message. "There is time for everything" ☺
So ture!! She is a gifted singer, with an aura rarely seen. Love her music and her talent.
Thanks for your kind words.
Mary Hopkin-a special voice
Thomas Kallmyr shes America's last hope
not only great voice and cute face, she plucks the guitar strings perfectly with all her fingers
Quite easily a milestone. Thanks for the beautiful recording.
listening in 15th january 2021 what a beatiful voice. Best voice in the world.
Nádherné, skvělé a nezapomenutelné. Děkuji M. H. za tu krásu, obdivuji ji a mám moc rad. J.
Mary Hopkin...so angelic 💖
What a beautiful voice,back to the sixties with miss Hopkin.
What a voice from an icon.
Beauty ang talent mixed together. God bless!
The "Byrds", you're an angel soaring like a bird...
God ! that is lovely !
I really love this song...It help me to pray the word of God...
There is a time to say THANKS!!
Blessings!
King Solomon is the original author of these words in Ecclesiastes 3.1 - 8
Pete only wrote the melody and added the words Turn Turn Turn, and " A time of peace. I swear it's not too late"
Pete sold it to the Limelighters and The Byrds which he preferred
Pete's promoter told him that he couldnt just keep writing protest songs, so he arranged this one and it was huge on Billboard for the Byrds for many weeks
I also thought it to be something precious to human nature..like psychology and procreation..etc.
Voice of an angel.
Absolutely Brilliant!!
A singing angel.
This was the flip side of the single "Those Were the Days". I like this simple cover.
Gorgeous that's what I call is the beauty of the mother earth
Mery hopkin beautiful voice
I love the song
Lyrics from the Holy Bible. Great song with fully authencity. Love it.
Really, "lyrics from the Holy Bible", does it say in the Bible "a time to kill"; does this not go against one of the Ten Commandments?
Her voice is a homage to Peter Seeger. Good man.
Mary has a clear beautiful voice . She sounds like an Angel.
Don't BC
She is makes me cry x
Beautful and delicate guitar playing - unbelievable voice, this girl should have been massive, but like a true gem, we never saw enough of her
She saw through McCartney and went home.
@@brianclayton1039 a bit cryptic for me, could you elaborate?
Turn, Turn, Turn - for some reason this reminds me of the book of Ezekiel : "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? "
Beautiful june27 2023
Innocent look.. What made her special.. And its called an Angel 😇
wonderful ..wonderful ..
SUPER ,,
Muy linda y dulce versión la de Mary¡¡ Gracias por compartir¡
She's so damn cute!
I best remember her as Lirazel in Peter Knight and Bob Johnsons album "The King of Elfland's Daughter" based on the novel by Lord Dunsany. There were quite a few other notable people on that album too.
Very interesting, can you tell us more about the album in question? I'm not familiar with it.
Can I please bring a conclusion to this seemingly endless debate as to her teeth? In this video she was absolutely stunning. Shortly afterwards they 'sorted' her teeth out. Thereafter she was absolutely stunning. There we have it then!
If she was stunning before with bad teeth, should she not be stunning and a half after getting her teeth fixed?
Well? In conclusion not nearly as controversial as Shanes of the Pogues...but at the end of the day wasn't really a problem because was more focused on the beautiful voice
She is stunningly beautiful with or without teeth .. her soul is in her voice ..
I wish I could have met her back then and found a way to win her heart!
I REMEMBER it now.
There she is,playing the guitar that George Harrison gave her, that makes my day....
Wow those were the days , just wondering how she is now
Wow, a real Singer!!! Such a rare thing nowadays !!!Lol
i love mari hopkins
You can't even spell her name correctly and a person’s name always begins with a capital letters.
Beautiful!
Ecclesiastes 3 KJV Bible. The lyrics were taken from there.
True!
wisdom that helps us probe what life is, and what we should make of it.
And Mary`s voice was taken from heaven...
They are wonderful words!
This song make me cry
Love ❤this. 🙏
I agree, she was trained by the Beatles, particularly Paul
True, The Byrds recoded this song but Pete Seeger wrote it. All good versions.
+Kevin Clark Why are you all mentioning Pete Seeger? He was not the author. The words of this song are simply taken from the Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 3 in the Bible.
Your right, but Pete Seeger composed it into a song from what I understand. I do enjoy all the versions. Great song.
Add "Those were the Days" and that's all I need
Found this song from reading “Fundamentals of the faith” by George M Phillip.
Beautiful song.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
I'm in love
Uprated, lovely rendition. Shared.
Very nice! Thanks for this fantastic upload.
Medieval. Thank you.
We need this in 2021 💜💜 angelic
Super voice

No, she was spotted by TWIGGY on "Opportunity Knocks", who put her in touch with Paul McCartney.
Amen.
